    Too much power draw is too much for Victron inverter

    I have an axpert max 2 off grid inverter.
    It allows charging from an AC source. Max 60 Amps AC input

    I have a back up solar system which uses a victron inverter with max 2000 watt output.

    If I attach a generator to the AC input it works fine.
    If I attach the victron inverter to the AC input it lasts 3 seconds before shutting down.
    The axpert max is trying to take in too much electricity and it is too much for the 2000 watt victron inverter.

    Is there some sort of device I can put between the two inverters to stop it drawing too much current.
    In the config of the axpert max there seems to be no configuration which would limit the AC input.

    Any ideas?

    Most Voltronic inverters allow setting the max charging current. Did you change the setting? You should set it to the minimum allowed when using the Victron as the AC input.
